Sorry, but the version of "thread-safe" that you are asking for would
require substantially slower code: you appear to want thread-safe locking
for the creation of all objects (in your case, for the construction of
a static variable that is local to a function). GCC is never going to do
that. The speed penalty would be enormous.
OK, thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I had assumed that all globals
were constructed before main() enters, but apparently C++ is not defined
that way for all types of globals.
